On March 25, 2020 Makaila and Aaron matched on a dating website. Aaron messaged Makaila and they began to talk back and forth until they were able to set a date to meet in person. On May 15, 2020 they had their first date at 50 East in White Sulphur Springs, WV. They weren't quite ready to part ways so they went for a stroll on the Greenbrier River Trail, where they shared their first kiss. On June 5, 2020 Aaron asked Makaila to be his girlfriend and she said yes! The rest is history.
